Intramurals

Intramural Sports Programs are designed for current University of Michigan-Flint Students and University of Michigan-Flint faculty/staff members of the Recreation Center. Recreation programs and facilities provide opportunities for individuals to act in and react to sport experiences which help them develop team-building and leadership skills. Intramural participation allows individuals to set goals, socialize, participate in physical activity, improve their overall physical and mental well-being and, most importantly, HAVE FUN!

Intramural Sports Mission StatementThrough sports we learn about our own limits and abilities, relationships with others, sportsmanship, and how to win or lose with grace and dignity. Athletics can help students transcend their individual differences, relieve the stress of academic work, and enhance the University of Michigan-Flint’s sense of community.

Intramural Sports should contribute to a student’s education and well-being. Whether at the academic, intramural, or club level, athletics should teach the value of teamwork, commitment, perseverance, communication and giving your best.

The University of Michigan-Flint Recreation Center’s Intramural Sports program pursues the amateur ideal in athletics by offering a wide range of activities for our students. The program exists for the student, not the spectators. The University of Michigan-Flint Recreation Center is committed to maintaining excellent facilities, an exemplary staff, and an appropriate balance between athletics and other aspects of student life.
